  1. There was a tagging incident 20 minutes ago in OW.

    884d0d22922e6ea4407246d43d66619e.png

    A req + niag tried to tag a herc. 240 BR trying to tag 170 BR and they got a "BR too high" error message.

    If this isn't a bug then what are we missing or what could have caused it?

    only you know the real answer..

    This topic was a self-deprecating piece I posted because I'm a dirty PvE cheater.

    I know some guys have done this challenge properly in the past; Some dude I can't remember but maybe also @Chevalier du Ethuville?

    Go ahead and see how far you can go without docking up and don't mind idiots like me! :)

    we could not find a better explanation for (old unlocked) 

    Balls converge on water at first graze (when they first hit water). Maybe some linguist here can provide a better 1-2 word explanation for UI

    Hm, not sure a linguist could help as the firing modes relate so heavily to something very specific and even unique we do in game, I'm open to be pleasantly surprised, tho.

    BTW, it says "locked" or "unlocked" during countown and then changes to new terms after.

    I assumed "locked" referred to locking to a specific point on the water (assuming a certain constant speed) and "unlocked" meant that the aiming point would follow your ships. So, very simplified you would use locked on a target that wasn't moving (Imagine a target raft or raking a ship stuck in irons). You would use unlocked to fire at a target sailing with similar speed parallel to your own ship.

    The last sentence above is why it's so weird old locked mode is now called parallel. It does make sense since the cannons would be aimed closer to parallel of eachother than unlocked or "water", but we can see from the aiming overlay it isn't even close to the very specific geometry term parallel.

    Maybe it isn't important if we use partially descriptive terms like locked/unlocked or parallel/water?

    I could suggest the terms "raking fire" (locked/parallel) and "converging fire" (unlocked/water) as they are closely tied to what we see and do and sound more age of sail-y (?)

    You've removed the ability of changing ammo in prebattle - is it a bug or new mechanics to kill prepared perk?

    You know what, Apl, it's ever so slightly annoying when you go passive aggressive instead of reporting and asking about possible bugs and changes on testbed. Save it to after the unwanted change is confirmed and they really want to "kill" prepared perk. Besides, it's not like it's completely useless to have every single gun loaded up with cannonballs with a close tag.

    It will be a bloodbath.

    A bunch of LO/WO + kiritimati ships with a couple fast scout/tagger ahead or even bigger fast hunting parties.

    More massacre of traders (due to higher riskes for lone raiders), more massacre of casuals (being unable to bring at least numbers superiority).

    More massacre of small teams/clans/solo players by bigger/more organized groups.

    This is my bet. We'll see if I am wrong.

    Didn't you quote Sun Tsu further up?

    I allways thought you are pretty good from the posts you make in forum

    and then I fought you in a battle.

    Gloves off, huh?

    Dude, I've said I'm shit for a long time. I haven't been ok since duel room went away, I get almost no training and I never got "good" at mod or repair meta. No, I'm easy prey in current NA, just like you experienced. I still love to fight you, nethros, Ram, Reverse, Cecil or any other of the good players I've been up against, I prefer taking a beating over bullying the weak.

    You've been annoyed at me before, but that is the most aggressive post I've seen you make. Hmmm...

    I summon @jodgi, who will squeak like a girl when reading this proposal.

    No, I can't be bothered when we "want more pvp" while ignoring the root issue why ppl don't fight.

    Go ahead and make OW like a shitty matchmaker, it's not like I'm OW's greatest fan so when you collectively want to ruin OW I might as well step aside because this will serve me more than any of you.

    Let's do round two or three of pleasing the "I want to help my friends" crowd.
